Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/799

Describe the bug
In the morning I can get the output from the below code, but at night when I clear all the output and start again, it keeps running and last for more than 3 hours but did not appear any output. I have tried using my local environment, faculty as well as google colab, all come across the same problem. The thing is I cannot even import spotify package now.

Your code
!pip install spotipy
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

client_credentials_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=client_credentials_manager)

artist_id=[]
for i in spotify_id_list:
artist_id.append(sp.track(i)["artists"][0]["id"])

audio_features=[]
for i in spotify_id_list:
audio_features.append(sp.audio_features(i)[0])

You need to find the function in which the code freezes. Can you do that?

Yes. It’s the sp.track(i) and sp.audio_features(i) that freeze. I am thinking if rate limit also apply for the Spotify package?

Yes the rate limit applies when using spotipy because it's merely a wrapper around the Spotify web API. But if your requests are rate-limited, then the code won't freeze; instead, you'll get an error response.

You need to find the method within track and audio_features that freezes.

Do you not know how to step through code in the debugger?

The information you've provided thus far is hopelessly inadequate for solving your issue.
